best toddler toys 18 months image
March
If you flew with a toddler ( 18 months ), what kept your little one occupied for a while? We have a long overseas flight ahead of us.I expect he won't sit for 8 hours, but I would like to find out what are some best little toys to pack. Thank you so much for the tips!
Answer
Portable DVD player.
Stickers.
Play-dough.
Colouring books but be prepared to have to keep crouching down on to the floor to pick up the crayons.
Etch-a-sketch is handy.
Little story books and her favourite teddy.
A good idea is to wrap up little toys in gift-wrap and put them in a bag and every half hour or so let her choose one.
Bring plenty of drinks and snacks.
His little ears might hurt so make sure you have a bottle or soother or something similar for him to suck on when taking off and landing.
It can be a nightmare travelling with babies so just ignore anyone who tut tuts about his making noise. It seems like a long flight but you'll get there in the end! Good luck.

My 18 month old son is bitting at Day Care, What can be done to stop this?
Answer
Unfortunately this is a common behavior for toddlers so don't feel bad. You are not a bad parent and you're son is not a bad kid. The first thing to do is find out why your son is biting. Chances are he's frustrated. Someone may take his toy or he can't verbalize how he's feeling. There is often a time where he's more prone to biting like at the end of the day or before nap time. Once you figure out why he's biting the next step is to eliminate the triggers if possible. This is difficult when he is in child care but try to do it at home.
Time outs work well as long as they are age appropriate. 1 minute per year/age.
never bite your child. It's abuse and you're only teaching him that biting is ok.
I always told the kids at my daycare that your teeth are for chewing your food not your friends. I got them to help me figure out good things to put in mouths. It became a game.
Good luck and hang in there. It's just a stage.
